Global Reach, Local Grounding

Founded in East London in 2017, Remi C.T. Studio operates across architecture, interiors, and urban design, with projects in London, the Middle East, and West Africa. We combine global experience with local insight to create work that is both distinctive and contextually grounded.

Design Beyond Aesthetics

Our practice is built on the belief that design should do more than look beautiful. We create spaces that foster belonging, reflect identity, and endure over time. Collaborating with clients across sectors, we focus on outcomes that are meaningful, considered, and enduring.

Method in Every Move

While each project is unique, our approach is consistent: rigorous research, creative exploration, and sustainable strategies, all carefully attuned to culture, community, and environment. This framework enables innovation within a disciplined, holistic process that enriches everyday life.

Anchored in Context & Experience

Every project begins with a detailed reading of its environment, amplifying the qualities of the landscape and leveraging its inherent tools. Equally, we consider how people inhabit space, embedding patterns of behavior into design decisions to enhance everyday experience.
